this is r t coming to you live from the russian capital i'm marina joshie welcome to the program it gets muslim brotherhood has been striking back against security forces after a crackdown on their protest camps in cairo and they are not done yet the organization wants all of those who support ousted president foresee to join a march of anger on friday the country's been engulfed in violence health officials say the number of those killed in wednesday's assault is at least six hundred thirty eight this led president obama to cancel military exercises between the u.s. and egypt and criticize the interim government for the current clampdown egyptian authorities said obama's remarks could encourage further violence because the country's under attack by terrorists civilians are meanwhile taking protection into their own hands because the end rest is showing little sign of ending r.t.l.

troop is in cairo. today people are bracing themselves across the country because it is the first friday off. wednesday's massacre and traditional protest day the muslim brotherhood and supporters of mohamed morsi have said that they are going to launch twenty eight marches across the capital starting from the major mosques and state government buildings now this is obviously quite a worrying time because there's been a lot of clashes state buildings government buildings and of course with the security forces even off the wednesday's massacre the protesters no longer have to sit ins in the capital and therefore having to start at various different mosques i went back to their encampment yesterday and there was just really piles of burning tents and debris the mosque the city where they had been living at was just a shadow so people here are very anxious that this is going to end up in more violence the protests for their part are completely determined to keep going they have now lost so many relatives and fellow protesters they say they will not be

intimidated by the army and the movement really just trying to identify what happened to them mr missing loved ones there are many makeshift morgues still functioning across the city that these protesters are going to be going from body to body attempting to find what happened to you know a missing protester or even relative meanwhile there has been international condemnation of wednesday's action which was an extraordinary show of force from the security forces and the u.s. has condemned it in multiple statements president obama himself counseled a joint military exercise between the u.s. and egypt saying you know off to this very bloody events on wednesday of state john kerry said it was a deplorable action the e.u. as well has condemned it among many other countries including turkey france denmark pakistan afghanistan it's really been a collective show of anger against the egyptian government as this bloody events continue. belcher is constantly tracking events in the egyptian capital so make

sure you follow her on twitter to keep up with everything that's happening there. in the. well the military's been using live ammunition since this latest bout of unrest kicked off on wednesday and more shocking footage of civilians being fired on has emerged online or you can see several man helping another person who appears to be wounded several gunshots are then apparently heard in the background when one of the man begins carrying the one the person away and he's hit by sniper fire a british camera man is also died while filming reportedly after being shot by a sniper are disposed near a visit a mosque where many of the bodies are being brought to and heard firsthand accounts of the clampdown. up to every battle days of reckoning this is where the tally for this week's deadly clashes is taking place here i mean that human must where the

bodies of that date and burnt are being false and it was here finally we sophia helmi mohammed found her son she learnt on facebook the twenty three year old had been killed she trying to invade to get through sniper fire to reach the a mosque where he'd been camping for weeks and. died from two bullets one was an historic their army claims the protesters had weapons but it was a peaceful sit in the police killed him they were standing on top of the roofs they burned some of the bodies and burned some people alive it was egypt's most bloody day of violence since the revolution two and a half years ago this old man managed to save his koran but not his wife she was among the hundreds killed many of them burned beyond recognition tis of anguish against a backdrop of angry demonstrations i think that's why you're marsha says the obey the. people when they go to the street in the jones it is i think is said that

i listen. obeying the will of the egyptian people word to the street how about this people would stay in the streets for forty seven days then they would rise and their gift is to kill them dr mohammad mahmoud was on duty when the first casualty started coming in. within hours he treated civil dozen patients the wounds were worse than anything he'd seen before marking a turning point he says from which there was no return the egyptian army usually defend people that's what we know they gyptian army even though our religion we have some proof of this these are the best army and over the world but not to kill his own people he's the egyptians always we owe our history with the egyptian army to defend us not to kill us this that's why i'm saying this is a very bad and black chapter the accusations and counter-accusations are heating up each side blames the other for unprovoked excessive violence the army stands

accused of firing at unarmed protesters while the brotherhood is feared for spreading violence anything is possible now unfortunately in every single step that we've been witnessing from since january twenty five. we don't think the next step is going to happen it's so far away and then it happens so anything is possible now the interior ministry has given police a green light to use live ammunition against anyone who attacks government buildings while the muslim brotherhood is vowing nothing will stop its glorious revolution in a country many fear is now teaching on the brink of civil war policy on cairo and the muslim brotherhood says the recent bloodshed has dealt a heavy blow which means it cannot control the backlash on the streets anymore and it is roughly video agency has obtained food is showing masked man armed with automatic weapons firing back out police in cairo well it is not known if they are affiliated with the muslim brotherhood but it's clear that the military assault on

promotes the camps has prompted armed resistance is there i'll get on the air who is in our ward winning journalist is unlikely to veer from its current violent past . i think actually the worst thing that's happening now is not actually to the deaths but it's how injections themselves have changed the amount of people i've heard just yesterday talk about how square has been cleaned even the word in arabic it's such a strong word to use that it's been cleaned up the muslim brotherhood there's so much hatred i have never seen so much hatred from egypt as for their fellow egyptians and it didn't just christian muslim which is already a problem we had in egypt but just indifference an ideological perspective say muslims talking about their other fellow muslim egyptians in the sense that they deserve to die that we're so sad they die but at least now we can be free of the terrorists and that i think is one of the worst and the scariest developments and that's what's going to lead egypt down

a dark cap i think everyone is playing here everyone has their own agenda everyone has their own reasons and in a very sad way everyone has something to benefit from this but again like i said i think the biggest loser is just egypt as a country you know the footage we've been seeing aerial footage everything burning a condom is in freefall the banks of clothes the stock markets lost cairo airport emergency like churches a trade burning tires for lease and it's just like oh my god am i watching a movie how is this how are we two and a half years on and things are only get worse and worse. we're also closely following the escalating tensions in egypt online and so had to r.t. dot com for live updates at a time line of the unfolding conflict dividing the nation. plus on our t.v. you tube page you can find powerful images from cairo revealing a brutal standoff between security forces and protesters.

now the u.s. is holding talks on a new security deal with the philippines america wants greater access to the country's milt. facilities to deploy troops equipment aircraft and ships analysts say it's an increasingly assertive china that seems to be the real reason for washington's growing engagement in the asia pacific region washington has been steadily beefing up its military presence in the region and japan being its main ally with fifty thousand american troops deployed there south korea comes in second with over twenty eight thousand u.s. military personnel and there's also the security hub of guam which holds several american military bases under the age of policy the u.s. has been strengthening its alliances with this trail you know the philippines singapore thailand and vietnam deploying troops as well as seeking to sign cooperation agreements well america claims it's just protecting its economic

interests in the region but as artie's postcard explains that doesn't seem to be the case. america's increasing interest in the asia pacific is defined by the white house as an attempt to strengthen economic and security interests and a paper released in two thousand and twelve washington makes no attempt to shy away from the fact that china's dominance in the region is a concern saying its emergence has the potential to negatively affect america's economy and security but go some way to explaining exactly why the u.s. is beefing up its military presence in the region but the exact extent of their muscle flexing is causing some to suggest it's an attempt at containment which will only intensify friction in the region the idea that the united states is protecting the interests of the world against chinese influence is clearly all the united states is doing is ratcheting up military tension and pressure when the world doesn't need it it's all disputes over territory are the main reason for heightened

tensions the south china sea rich in oil and fish is the main bone of contention washington is backing its ally the philippines in that dispute upping its military support to the nation by two thirds while also strengthening its military ties with indonesia singapore malaysia brunei and vietnam the united states needs to be greater clarity over china's strategic intentions but as washington maintains they want dialogue they continue to expand their military presence on china's doorstep rattling the world's second largest economy a dangerous game of brinksmanship in a region where tensions are already high meanwhile china has launched a forty military exercise in the east china sea an area that's the subject of territorial disputes with japan countries in the region are seeking the support of the united states to france china's claims over islands in the east and south china seas dr authorise them have had berg from beijing university says the u.s.

should try and work with china rather than countering it. the u.s. tries to kind of contain china at the moment but china has a duty because of its military rise to actually challenge that reigning champion in the u.s. and likewise u.s. of course cannot retreat or retire it has to freeze that shot and china's influence is growing even by western meddler standouts china's our rigs the second largest economy it is sure to surpass us i think there's no doubt that about this it's look to figure out the last so india and the u.s. has to work to gather with china instead of suppressing its rising influence. and just around the corner here aren't to cut or not to cut as public spending is trimmed in the u.k. we host an expert panel discussion on aware britain's cashless band that's coming

hundred dollars however a bit coin success is marred by worries it can be used to evade taxes and trade drugs graphy law maker isn't says digital money should be brought out of the darkness and regulated both in the interest of the public and the virtual currency in the streets health economist mark sorenson says the u.s. is just worried about the dollar. their stated objective to investigate these currency these virtual currency is that they may be used for illegal means or they may be used for tax evasion and money laundering purposes which of course that does occur but that also occurs with u.s. currency which is the major currency for drug dealers and smugglers of all sorts so we have to look a little deeper here at these investigations and what we find is that of course the bigger credit card companies are concerned about bitcoin is

a competitor because it's cheaper and faster than their own services there's no fees involved and so they're concerned and also the federal reserve and the treasury are concerned that in the long run virtual currencies maybe siphon off some of the demand for the u.s. dollar so the government is concerned about that point in its popularity at many different levels. now the online currency has won official recognition whether u.s. federal judge ruling it is real money a texas man being tried for a laundering billions of dollars using the big point system challenge the court by saying the coins were virtual and couldn't be the basis for a fraud charge he failed artist peter oliver went to meet those who have no doubt that cohen has real value. it points. to be coing. coin can see are fooling those developing the digital currency perhaps a little bunkers has the potential to be brilliant but we're still in the early

days down the road i think it has tremendous potential and the next few years it can be used by everybody wants to convenience its there it's in so-called because spaces like this one in the kinks in the currency being ironed out by a dedicated in close knit group even holding a wedding within a digital den to care for and protect each other you're from. the developers may soon an unconventional group this is an incompetent currency not controlled by any government or central bank this peer to peer method of exchange can run chanting it will take the stand there. like life cycle of every technology of every new technology hoping the geeks will use it first. sooner or later the customers will use however with one bitcoin currently being worth around seventy euro and only existing in cyberspace it's not really being cohesive with

the high street until now or we make. denominations of points like. some kind of five euro two euro one euro in that size which would be for example serial point zero one bitcoin and it would look like this actually we want to make it easy to use solution for down like to keep coins in their daily lives paid their daily life things with bitcoins like a pizza or a coke at a bar or something like that security online is a major concern for us all these days so developers are looking into a number of ways to protect consumers cash we already talk with them. security companies. they will do labels like with full grounds self destroying if you rip them off so we tried really to make it really secure. people that the can

be sure. to use. so they really can use it for trading to the teacher to make sure there's no limit to shame the physical evidence you can take you can stamp it. it will work just how easy is it to use. your credit i start my char reader. and this one was not claimed before i can just claim it's you know it's mine it's going. to be in telling to do alongside gold and silver is the only safe investments by those in the know. absolutely triumphed as the dollar has crashed ninety per cent against it as bitcoin is set to take on the world and root out the bank's stirrers and if this continues pretty soon might not be only for nerds they could be the cash pockets r t. well you can find out

the video game company of heroes two is facing a lot of heat from gamers inside the former soviet union in fact fourteen thousand people thus far have taken the time to sign a changed org. petition to get the game removed from former communist shelves across the land why are people so mad this looks like some sort of world war two game i mean and this type of game there's going to be a murdering of virtual rampaging through cities with rocket launchers so why did they start a petition for you to blogger called the bad comedian made a detailed twenty five minute video depicting all the gross historical inaccuracies and exaggerations throughout the game but he portrays the soviet army as a pack of slave driving before with every soviet officer wanting nothing more than to shoot his own soldiers in the back or send them to the gulag forthwith according to polygon dot com the game exploits rare moments in the wars history like some very limited battles or soviet soldiers went in unarmed and made it look as if

sitting right infantry directly into machine gun fire was part of the soviet army manual maybe it's a bit oversensitive to flip out over a dumb video game but lies repeated often enough will become true in the minds of millions of people who play the game and that's why you can't back down when it comes to historical falsification but that's just my opinion. good afternoon and welcome to prime interests i'm parry and boring. and left it to today's headline to do it. navy patting himself on the back right now at least with respect to consumer price inflation which came and at precisely the two per cent official target but for those of us who don't eat food or drive a car and the number was a bit smaller one point seven percent previous labor towered himself in front of

the fed and having a one of the best inflation records of any fed chairman and water here is how do you did unfortunately some other economic data was released today specifically regarding manufacturing and that has sent the stock market tumbling. to bed surveys one by the new york fed the other in philadelphia disappointed greatly producers of quote stuff are shipping less of it orders are going to build and inventories are being drawn down so that means less stuff is in production in other words the markets are not going to like this september tenth tapering by the threat. and yesterday marked a new to development and the debit interchange by remember free checking well that's a perk most banks can't afford it sent the fed a cap to retail swipe fee but two weeks ago a federal judge threw out the rule out saying they were too high now the courts are saying that only do they have to lower debit fees further but banks may also have to reimburse the merchants for the deaf right so you can expect

a further unintended consequences to your checking account and finally circling the economic news where again it turns out china and japan aren't like doing. that's right according to the u.s. treasury itself it's two largest creditor nations just forty two billion dollars of u.s. debt and this would be the most in years thank goodness for the fed to a backstop unless we take the tapering comments to heart don't worry bernanke is bluffing. just being over them behave of unpaid and then just a minute then bob talks with alan brown about the web of debt we had and here is what's in your prime interest.
